The environmental impact from switching to alternative diets varied greatly across （he studiessome found changes of 70% less greenhouse gas emissions and land use, while others found only slight reductions or even increases.The more sustainable diets were generally considered slightly healthier due to increased vegetable and fruit and reduced red and processed meat consumption.Being conscious about both the environmental impacts and healthiness of the foods vve eat is an important start. For most of us, following healthy guidelines fbr a balanced diet would go a long way to improving health and environmental sustainability.50.

CBHonk if You Love BirdsWhen Ariel Cordova-Rojas rode her b汰e to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York, last November, she planned io go hiking and bird-watching. Bingo! A mile into her walk, she spotted a gorgeous female mute swan near the water's edge. Cordova-Rojas, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund rehabilitation center in Manhattan, knew that mute swans can be aggressive. But as she approached this one, it didn't move.She was certain that (he bird needed medical attention. Cordova-Rojas draped her jacket over the bird's head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and held it in her arms. And then a thought struck her: What do I do now?Her best bet was the rehab center, but that was across the East River and clear on the other side of town. How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way? Luckily, some bemused strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station.On the subway, no one seemed particularly annoyed by the feathered passenger. "One guy”, says Cordova-Rojas, 4twas sitting right in front of me on his phone, i don't know if he noticed there was a swan in front of him.”Cordova-Rojas called the rehab center on the way, and Tristan Higgin, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove bird, bike, and rescuer to the facility. There, staff members determined that the swan might have lead poisoning, caused by swallowing weights used on fishing lines.The staff got the swan back up on her webbed feet. She even made a boyfriend at the centeranother injured swan. Sadly, even with all that TLC, the swan contracted a bacterial infection. Two months after Cordova-Rojas came to her rescue, she passed away.It's a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big cityliterally. t4In all, Cordova-Rojas traveled two hours by foot, car, and subway,“ says Higginbotham, "That's the perfect summary of who she is.” 34. What happened when Ariel Cordova-Rojas went on her trip to Queens?A. She was attacked by an aggressive swan when watching birds.B. She discovered a sick mute swan and took it to the rehab center.C. A female swan was transported to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.D. A female swan was lifted to the nearby subway station by strangers.35. What can wc learn about the swan in the passage?A.

Which of the following words can best describe Ariel Cordova-Rojas?A. Enthusiastic and creative.B. Warm-hearted and professional.C. Cooperative and generous.D. Responsible and ambitious.【答案】34. B 35. C 36. BCWhat are pillows really stuffed with? Not physically, but symbolically? The question occurred to me with the photos in the news and social media from the 50 cities around the world that staged public celebrations fbr International Pillow Fight Day. Armed with nothing more (han bring-our-ovvn sacrificial cushions, strangers struck heavily each other in playful feather from Amsterdam to Atlanta, Warsaw to Washington DC. But why? Is there anything more to this delightful celebration?As a cultural sign, ihe pillow is deceptively soft. Since at least the 16lh Century, ihe humble pillow has been given unexpected meanings. The Chinese playwright Tang Xianzu tells a famous story about a wise man who meets a depressed young scholar a( an inn and offers him a magic pillow filled with the most vivid drcams of a seemingly more fulfilling life. When the young man awakens to discover that his happy 50-year dream has in fact e and gone in the short space of an afternoon's nap, our impression of the pillow's power shifts from wonder to terror.Subsequent writers have likewise seized upon the pillow. When the 19th-Century English novelist Charlotte Bronte poetically observed "a ruffled (不平的)mind makes a restless pillow”, she didn't just change the expected order of the adjectives and nouns, but instead she made unclear the boundaries between mind and matter the thing resting and the thing rested upon.It's a trick perhaps Bronte learned from the
